    This document provides a standard test method for determining the density, relative density, or API gravity of crude petroleum, petroleum products, and mixtures using a glass thermohydrometer. A thermohydrometer reading is taken at the test temperature and corrected to the reference temperature of 15°C or 60°F using calculations and tables. Calculations are also used to correct for factors like the meniscus effect and thermal expansion of glass. Density, relative density, or API gravity values determined can be interconverted to other units or temperatures using provided procedures and tables. The method details apparatus, procedures, calculations, and reporting requirements for accurately measuring sample properties using a thermohydrometer.
